"The Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) has solved many problems. If you've ever had a cycling weekend cut short due to a bent or broken derailleur hanger and not been able to find a replacement, you know what I'm talking about. The UDH eventually gave way to SRAM's direct-mount derailleurs, both electronic and mechanical. However, these direct-mount derailleurs posed challenges for some indoor trainers, often requiring users to fiddle with tricky adapters or ditch them altogether."
"While this new thru axle from Saris still technically falls in the "adapter" category, it seems pretty easy to use. Saris says, " As more bikes adopt the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) system, riders need a trainer solution that keeps up. Our new thru axles deliver exactly that: a modern, secure, and universal connection for Road, Gravel, and MTB bikes on Saris wheel-on trainers and most major wheel-on systems." Each adapter kit includes a thru axle adapter with both 1.00 and 1.75 thread pitches."
The Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) reduced hanger-replacement problems but led to SRAM direct-mount derailleurs that can create compatibility issues with some wheel-on indoor trainers. Saris introduced new thru-axle adapter kits designed to provide a modern, secure, and universal trainer connection for road, gravel, and MTB bikes. Each kit includes a thru axle adapter with both 1.00 and 1.75 thread pitches, spacers, end caps, a UDH spacer, 40mm hex bolts, and a shorter bolt-action tube to replace the longer trainer tube. Kits are available in 142x12mm and 148x12mm widths, including a 1.50-thread 148x12mm option, all retailing for $59.99.
